True. BTW Bungie always stated MS treated them well, particularly about the conditions that set them free. But obviously they wanted to explore new ideas too, they have a talent way above average and they proved many times they can use it in many different franchises and genres. We can see how immense they are comparing Myth I and II, made by them, with Myth III, made by others and utter crap.
So yes, there are mostly reasons on both sides and I'd say very few wrongs on both sides too. Their roads simply split.
MS has behaved far worse in its history, even with its own employees, when that greedy lard ball cut benefits to some of the most productive employees in the world to gather another billion, but surely not towards Bungie, and about being bastards with the devs I think nobody can beat Activision and that Skrotick thug.
